Wonderful accommodations close to James Madison. It was perfect for our family as we gathered for my son’s graduation. Parking was a bit tricky, but not enough to keep us from renting again!

Thank you so much for the review! So glad your family was able to take advantage of the proximity to JMU and congrats to your son! And yes unfortunately the steep driveway is typical here, but glad that won't stop you from visiting again! Looking forward to having you back!
Great stay only thing I wish they had was a fire pit with real logs instead of the propane one

Thank you so much for staying with us and for taking the time to leave a review! We're so glad you had a great stay overall.
We completely understand the appeal of a wood-burning fire pit — there's nothing quite like it! Unfortunately, Massanutten's HOA restricts open fires on the property, so the propane fire pit is our best available option. We wish we could offer more!
If the fire pit was the only thing keeping this from a 5-star experience, we'd love the chance to earn that on your next visit. And if there's anything else we could have done better, we're always open to hearing it — guest feedback helps us keep improving. Hope to host you again soon!
Great digs. Relaxing vibe. Hosts were highly engaged and very responsive. Easy commute into Harrisonburg. Recommend!!

Thank you for taking the time to review your stay! Glad the kiddos loved the game room and happy you were able to take advantage of the convenient location. Please visit again!
The place was comfortable, convenient to tubing and skiing, and very clean. The host was available when needed to ask questions and very friendly and the game room was a big hit with my grandchildren. I hope to be back and stay with them again. So much fun and a very memorable trip.

Thank you so much for taking the time to submit a review. So glad you were able to get out on the slopes and enjoy the updated game room! Our cleaning team is awesome! Love the pic and hope to host you all again!
This property was as amazing as it looked online. Unfortunately our stay was extremely short but it was comfortable and fun. There was plenty of space and the basement was equipped with many games that our kids really enjoyed. I would recommend this property.

Hi Jessie, really appreciate the thoughtful review. Glad you enjoyed the house and please visit again!
Host was great! The house was exactly as listed, except the driveway. The description stated steep. It’s not steep up it goes down and curves, very difficult to maneuver.

Hi! Thanks for the review, glad you enjoyed the house. Unfortunately steep driveways (up or down) are the norm on the mountain, but thanks for the feedback.
Everything was just as described, very clean, beautiful space for our family. Definitely will stay here again!

Clean, well-stocked house with everything you need for a weekend away. Our kids loved the air hockey table and large downstairs to play in. Close to everything in Massanutten.
